Protos

Creating and Using User Protos

As useful as the system protos are, there will still come a time when you want to create your own user protos to do particular jobs. You create them in special proto layout files in NTK. Once these are completed, you add them to your project like other layout files and they are available for selection from the same tool palette as system protos (albeit in a different list). For information on the actual mechanics of creating a user proto from within NTK, see "Creating a User Proto" on page 392. Just as with any other proto in the palette, you can select it and then draw out a template in a layout window that protos from the user proto.
